The meta developments in this book blew my mind. The crossover are starting for real... and it was fun matching side characters with other series and drawing connections. The Harmony epilogue... intriguing and worrying. I'll definitely keep following along.
That being said... I kinda found myself trudging through this book for the first two thirds. And I found the end less impactful than the end of the first Mistborn trilogy, which was disappointing. I expected tears and mind blowing but it just felt pretty lighthearted. There was never really a point in the plot where I couldn't see the characters succeeding and I feel like that's pretty integral to a Sanderson plot. I'm also not sure we really needed four different povs, balanced the way they were, because we ended up spending little time with anyone in particular and maybe that's why I didn't feel connected to any of the characters as much as I wanted to be.

This is the final book in the Wax and Wayne series, so it'll be difficult to explain much without too many spoilers, but it takes place six years after the end of Bands of Mourning and war is brewing once again.
I loved the relationship dynamics of all kinds in this - Wax and Wayne probably being my favorite, but also loving Marasi and some new friends she makes in this book, Steris is a delight and I've loved seeing her character growth throughout this. Just fantastic in the way of relationships.
I also really enjoyed seeing all of the interesting Cosmere things come up in this book. It'll be interesting to see how all of that comes into play later or otherwise.
Also even though I saw the ending coming a mile away, I'm still sad by it, but it was satisfying regardless.
All in all, a fantastic end to a good series.
